Will you please provide me the IIT Lecture Notes Mechanical Engineering??? As per your requirement here I am giving the IIT Lecture Notes Mechanical Engineering: A fluid machine is a device which converts the energy stored by a fluid into mechanical energy or vice versa . The energy stored by a fluid mass appears in the form of potential, kinetic and intermolecular energy. The mechanical energy, on the other hand, is usually transmitted by a rotating shaft. Machines using liquid (mainly water, for almost all practical purposes) are termed as hydraulic machines. In this chapter we shall discuss, in general, the basic fluid mechanical principle governing the energy transfer in a fluid machine and also a brief description of different kinds of hydraulic machines along with their performances. Discussion on machines using air or other gases is beyond the scope of the chapter. CLASSIFICAITONS OF FLUID MACHINES The fluid machines may be classified under different categories as follows: Classification Based on Direction of Energy Conversion. The device in which the kinetic, potential or intermolecular energy held by the fluid is converted in the form of mechanical energy of a rotating member is known as a turbine . The machines, on the other hand, where the mechanical energy from moving parts is transferred to a fluid to increase its stored energy by increasing either its pressure or velocity are known as pumps, compressors, fans or blowers .
